xxxxxxxxxNOW SOLDxxxxxxx Due to unforeseen circumstances my 71 early bay is now for sale. The van is a UK bus which has been off the road for some years. It has had the majority of the welding complete and is now rock solid. The only welding which will be needed is a small section to the...

I'm after a sliding door for a rhd early bay. It must be in good condition. I'm based in Eastbourne but I'm well aware these are getting harder to come by so I'm prepared to travel within reason. I'm also after a pair of standard front seats. If you have anything that may be suitable then...

Brilliant, cheers for that. Wish I had spotted this thread before posting!

Bit of a strange one. My bay is mid way through having the odd bits sorting before being painted and ive noticed the rear arches don't match. It has one flared arch (I believe a late bay arch) and one with a flatter profile (I believe an early bay). I have looked online and it appears that my...

That's pretty much exactly what I did. I basically explained that I don't believe that the engine lid has been accurately described as it is certainly not rust free. However I understand that everybody's idea of a small dent is going to be differant as this is down to the individuals...

I have just received an early engine lid which I won on an ebay auction which was described as rust free and having a small dent near the housing for the number plate light. Upon receiving it it was clear that it is far from rust free, all though it is not horrendous there are a couple of...

Ho could you please send me a photo. Also where abouts in Sussex would collection be from. I'm in Eastbourne but travel around the south a lot so collection shouldn't be a problem

I had a one from heritage in the front of my t25 and I found it to be brilliant. My son slept in it between the age of about 6-8. It started sagging a little nearer the end but it had had a lot of use by then. I wouldn't hesitate in getting one for the bay, all though by the time it's finished...

Do you have a good passenger door available please. I'm not too far from you so collection is no problem. Cheers Gary

Brilliant, thanks for that. I'll brave the cold tomorrow and try and get the code off the ignition barrel. :D

Just wandered if anybody could offer some advice. When I bought the bay last week unfortunately the owner had been working on it for so long they managed to loose the keys. Is there any way of getting a key cut or will I need to change the ignition unit. I don't know if the locks will all work...

Thanks for the offer matey bit I've just ordered some off eBay. Cheers Gary

Brilliant, cheers for that. I'll start searching for cab door bolts instead and hopefully I'll get some joy.

I am after the 4 bolts needed to fit a tailgate to the hinges. If anybody has any knocking around they want to sell, or know where I can buy some from I would be most grateful. I've looked in the usual online shops but don't seem to be able to find any. Thanks in advance Gary

That sounds cracking Paul, it would be great to have it looked over by some more experienced eyes. I'll pm you my number etc and perhaps you can pop over, have a gander and a cuppa
